69 repro endura bumper/brackets.. do any fit?
 

Are there any 69 Camaro repro endura bumpers and/or bumper brackets that are reasonably well made and can be fit up without major hassles? Is there more than one manufacturer of these or does everyone sell the same stuff?

Heartbeat City maybe.

Heartbeat bumper brackets can work on original bumpers. Re-pro VE3s require a lot of work at both ends. The re-pros all look the same, so I'm assuming that they are the same manufacturer.

I second what Bruce said... Ive used repo brackets and bumpers also... the brackets work..the bumpers always need some serious 'reworking'....

since we are on the subject, I have a really mint GM bumper that is ever so slightly tweaked...anyone have any luck repairing them ?

What type of "reworking" do the bumpers need specifically? Heartbeat City claims his repro bumpers are made in USA...has anyone actually used one of his? I'm guessing most repro endura bumpers are made overseas?

I think I have a good bumper without brackets. What is it worth these days ?

Probably more than I can afford unfortunately. That's why I was looking at repros.

Joe, maybe Dave Valentin (luv2sixty9) can help you out.

Joe - the re-pros stick out too far on the ends, and the contour of the ends isn't the same as the "pocket" in the fender that they are supposed to seat into. There was a guy over on TC that reworked a repro & it looked good.

Sounds like I should probably wait until I can afford a GM one. Charley, PM me if you decide on a price you'd take for yours. Thanks everyone for the input!
